 beginning to cheer up the counter. A 

 fine assortment can now be got from 

 the wholesalers for a five or a ten. 



Business continues 

 PITTSBURGH prosperous, consid- 

 ering the season, 

 many funerals making enormous de- 

 mands upon stock, which remains 

 rather scarce, each day seeing every- 

 thing well cleaned up. With the ex- 

 ception of sweet peas which are on 

 the wane, products are of good qual- 

 ity, lilies especially improving as the 

 season goes on. 



Stock has shortened 

 ROCHESTER, up considerably in 

 N. Y. the Rochester mar- 



ket. Snow storms 

 during the nights have been prevalent 

 the past week. There is quite a 

 scarcity of carnations. Violets shipped 

 in from the East are in over-supply 

 and the demand small. There is a 

 heavy receipt of roses and prices are 

 lower. Callas and lilies are selling 

 good. Sweet peas are in good supply 

 and quality. Calendulas, anemones 

 and Iris are found useful. Smilax and 

 other greens are in fair supply. 



Weather conditions are 

 ST. LOUIS, very hard on sweet 

 peas especially; light 

 colors in carnations are still numer- 

 ous and good dark colors are in fair 

 demand. Roses are coming in good, 

 the only leftovers being mostly in 

 white and pink Killarney. Local ar- 

 rivals in purple lilac are now coming 

 in through the Kirkwood growers. 

 Good demand for home-grown aspara- 

 gus. 



The market has 

 WASHINGTON, been considerably 

 upset due to vary- 

 ing weather conditions. Stock that is 

 really good sells without difficulty, and 

 there has been a rather heavy demand 

 for roses and carnations because of 

 the large number of funeral orders 

 and the sales of cut flowers incident 

 to the D. A. R. convention. Rambler 

 roses in pots are plentiful and are 

 being substituted for azaleas and 

 rhododendrons. Lilies have been 

 scarce and callas have been selling 

 well In their stead. Violets are about 

 gone. Mignonette and pansies are not 

 selling very well.
